Ailing veteran actor Captain Raju was on Monday airlifted from Oman to Kochi and shifted to a hospital in Kochi, Kerala.
Last week, on his way to the UAE while he was en route to the US to attend his son’s wedding, the actor fell unconscious. The flight he was on was diverted and landed at Muscat in Oman.
Soon, he was shifted to a hospital there and was under medical supervision until Monday morning when the family wished to bring him to Kerala for further treatment. His condition is stable, according to industry sources.
The 68-year-old veteran, who quit from the Indian Army when he was a Captain, started his acting career in 1981. He has acted in several films (Naadodikattu, Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha, C.I.D. Moosa, Nasrani and Masterpiece) and has directed two movies, too.
He has often been cast as a villain on account of his towering personality. He has also featured in character roles and in TV serials.
